I can just imagine a bunch of douchebags like Matheson, Rockliff and Robinson kicking this off and thinking it was ace ಠ_ಠ. I don't know, but for me the club just needs some adults. McLuggage would just be thinking how juvenile.

I'm just wondering, the difficulties are clear, but looking back, have you noticed any advantages to having your condition, assuming it's dyspraxia. I have an 8 year old son with dyspraxia so any insight would be appreciated.

Going through a similar evaluation. There are some UML elements, but it doesn't look complete (for example doesn't support horizontal partioning or final flow nodes). I'm finding online support for UML very patchy at best.

I can't find it at the moment, but there is a more complete set of UML stencils independently online for a free download.

I'm in the midst of finishing my undergrad stats degree and it's simply incomprehensible for the sake of being incomprehensible. While I completely respect the rigorous approach to the discipline, IME academics in this field have no idea, nor the inclination, on how to communicate in ELI5 terms. A lot of people just don't and can't learn that way - they need to feel orientated first, then given the tools, all the while being anchored back to the ELI5 version. Every lecture is almost impenetrable and feels like I'm trying to dig a cave with a plastic spoon - yet I'm aghast after 10's of hours of stupidity self-flagellation I realise someone could have explained this in 2 sentences and shown me the technique. It's a terrible way to teach a subject and purely an exercise in academic barrier building.

As weird as this sounds, I'm inclined to believe that there's a movement to actively strip the subject of an intuitive approach in order to ensure mathematical purity. I personally don't think this is necessary and that the mathematical proofs should should be introduced way after the applied and intuitive concepts are explained.

I understand, but you're hurt should be targeted at the club's administration - they're the ones that let both the supporters and players down, not the media, AFL or ASADA. This whole sorry saga could have been behind Essendon 2 years ago if Hird had taken responsibility there and then.

Nearly every non-Essendon supporter could see this day years ahead. Hird needed to man up on day one and step down while it was being investigated. Now he's trashed the club almost completely due to his ego. His stubbornness and righteousness has agitated nearly every other party involved in this and ultimately led to the WADA escalation.

Direct your disappointment to Hird and your anger at the administration that didn't have the governance to protect him from himself.

Hasn't really answered the question, but then again, it's a hugely complex problem that our species hasn't properly considered. It's probably going to require a different kind of politics to even solve - if it's even solvable (whatever that means in this context).
